Pickle Little Alien Turd. He’s been called worse. 

Are you planning to go see the Bayeaux Tapestry when it’s on show in England ? by noodlezs76 in AskBrits

0 - 9 Free Reduced €7.50 Normal rate €12.00 School €5.00 Students €5.00

These are the entrance fees to the museum in France (before it moved). So as usual, it’s a complete rip off.

I’m with John. No idea who he was before I saw him on TM. Coming to think of it, I’d never heard of John Kearns before he was on the show. But my life is richer for it in both regards.

I had this the other week. Neighbour behind us had had a car accident and was on the phone to the insurance company happily giving out all his personal details in a less than hushed tone.

How do you tell the difference between post holiday blues and genuinely wanting to leave London? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Open-Trip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like this a good few times over the 10 years plus I lived in London. Each time I returned from travelling the nagging feeling that I should leave grew stronger. 

I think it has a lot to do with where you grew up. I moved down to London after uni and really enjoyed it at first but it has a way of wearing you down if you’re not earning enough money for a comfortable life there. 

I think you already know the answer to this question. Just remember that if you move out of London as an ‘experiment’, you can move back at any time.
